Ernest Cline’s “Ready Player One” Becomes a Reality in the Readyverse
Ernest Cline, the author of the dystopian novel “Ready Player One,” has partnered with AI and metaverse company Futureverse to bring the virtual reality world of OASIS to life. Together, they have created the “Readyverse,” an interactive virtual world inspired by Cline’s book and its film adaptation.
Creating the Readyverse
Cline and film producer Dan Farah have co-founded Readyverse Studios, a new venture exclusively partnered with Warner Bros. Discovery. The goal is to develop metaverse experiences based on the Ready Player One franchise across web3 platforms.
Exploring the Readyverse
The Readyverse metaverse will allow users to explore environments, characters, and objects from the Ready Player One universe. Users can customize their avatars with “skins” and purchase digital assets like vehicles and real estate.
A Decentralized Open Metaverse
The aim is to make the Readyverse an interoperable, decentralized open metaverse powered by blockchain technology for secure digital ownership.
Hot Take: Bridging Entertainment with Virtual Worlds
The partnership between Readyverse Studios and Warner Bros. marks a significant milestone in merging entertainment with virtual worlds. It demonstrates the growing momentum behind metaverses and presents an opportunity for studios to engage fans in new interactive storytelling formats. While challenges remain, such as hardware constraints and mass adoption, this collaboration showcases the potential for blockchain-based metaverse experiences.
